ON050 - Eater Of Self

by Squelch Chamber

/
1.
Criminal scheme inside of me The syndicate decides who lives and who dies Vertically, I'm up way too high I don't understand this world no more, won't try Criminal scheme, it's just a bad dream A nightmare of the modern day suicide that we all endure It's just bad business The politics you play just to get fuckin' by Just to fuckin' survive Ultimate sacrifice Criminal scheme Criminal scheme is my only masterplan I won't be the deserter I'm taking your empire down I won't be the deserter down I'm taking these dregs on down...

Everybody's takin' except you I guess you should sink down to their level and get what you want Well, I have some prophecy signed and set in stone Here comes the rub, you're gonna die alone You gotta practice what you leech Hands all over my neighbors mind and things Take it slow but take it It's beyond me but I'll hum along...in hymn To anything said and shown You gotta practice what you leech You got a best friend? Fine! Kill them and take what is mine Take it slow but take it all by force Not even showing a single sign of remorse This is the new world and I don't think that I want it You gotta practice what you leech Forget your preachin' 'cause the whole world's dumb and deaf and I can't rise it We breed anything but genius out here Stupidity is now We breed anything but genius out here The blinder the better, the dumb is what's fitted with a crown They rise to the top and this is their breeding ground We breed anything but genius out here.

The steeple is fallin' Somethin' is callin' The world's on the slide again straight down Isolated, so much hatred We can no longer ask our brothers and sisters for help The wires and the spires have come unglued in this miserable world Somethin' is broken Nobody jokin' Smiles are strangled anymore I file all these predetermined documentations Who the hell is makin' all these violent accusations? Now there's a million people tryin' and cryin' for help Criminal ways born from debt and decay on the shelf I don't even really know what you're tryin' to do I just chalk it up to years of misspent youth Putrid decayin' world...putrid decayin' world... It's gone...it's gone...the planet that we knew is gone Gone...gone...the planet that we knew is gone.

Pulled Guts 05:19
It was a clear cut case of really bad decisions that took on a life of their own We celebrated like idiots over nothing real We've lost the ability to feel It was pulled from our guts and displayed all over town Our screams weren't even tangible sounds No one cared, nobody at all Lest of all me, lest of all you It's gone.
5.
(Additional vocals / lyrics: Graham MacSkimming) I went down in the deadlands at a quarter of 3 I snort some pile of junk and then that junk snorts me I couldn't rise, I couldn't live, I had to leave town The only way I knew was straight down There is no hope and the old man died White to the touch, I peeled off his side Incites a monster with one blinking eye The human collective longs to die I gotta find my way somewhere up above I've done nothin' I can to unleash this world fucked up I know, I know a measure of love... I know, I know a measure of love Slay the soul!!
6.
Eater of selves To make your name A godless thread unties deadly games Lonely savant washes shame Fall from mountains to watery grave It's a lonely road to be the chosen one I chose myself over everyone A wrench in my progress to adjust a blinding sun To be bleak and blackened as my lungs You gave me nothin' Sometimes much less Just a stolen life Poisoned breath An all-seeing eye You took from the bank Drain me out Gold and silver specks I threw my life into a world of hate Another woe, begotten hand of fate, that I'm dealt Fortune gone in blue sky flames The earth wins and kills the fake Culls all life Organs spayed, sexually lunging for petty space Blues skies gone for this dirty race Silently blow this vultured landscape Death... was weak to try It can't hold out long with the human flies The stench of shit, it is strong Yes, it stains even those not wronged Don't walk on my grave cause I'm gone I don't want to believe in a god gone wrong I threw my life into a world of hate...

about

'Eater Of Self' is everything I hoped for and more when I approached Squelch Chamber to make something for Owlripper.

There is filth, and then there is Squelch Chamber. Absolutely doomed black industrial noise-rock covered in gravel-encrusted tar, set on fire and rolled around in mud. Ominous from the first seconds, terrifying once the distortion slams its claws in, with no let up in the psychological sonic warfare it piles on to you.

Mangle together in a blender reminiscences of the untamed ferocity of Primitive Man, The Body, Ken Mode, Therapy? on their first 2 EPs, Abandon (Sweden), Skinny Puppy, then add dashes of Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Full Of Hell and Fear Of God all on 16rpm, but with added liquids, bubbles and noise; then be prepared for the monolithic album closer to crush out any of your remaining juices.

I was hooked the moment I saw the band name, but then hearing their debut Summer 2020 'Down So Low' absolutely sealed the fandom.
